Sometimes we just need something super easy to cover a cake.
You’re gonna need: A mixer
Ingredients:
-3 cups confectioner’s sugar
-1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
-Pinch of salt
-1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
-In the mixing bowl, beat the butter on low speed. Add in the extract and the salt.
-With the mixer still on low, add the confectioner’s sugar little by little. When you are done adding in the sugar, you can turn the speed to medium and mix a little bit more, three to four minutes should be more than enough.
Since this buttercream doesn’t have whipped cream or any agent that would melt (in normal conditions, that is), always use this recipe when you need a vanilla frosting that has to sit at room temperature for a long time.
